Ordained of God Pt.3

Let's turn to Romans 13:1. Allow the Lord to speak to us again. See if there is some way we can find a loophole here. "Surely there's a way out from under this statement," the flesh cries. And those of us that have a heart to honor Him and honor His Word know that, no, there is no loophole and there is no way out, but this is the wisdom of God, it's the power of God, and it's really how God chooses to strengthen and to honor those that are willing to obey. When we humble ourselves under the mighty hand of God, the Scripture says that in due time He will exalt us. So He's calling us into this life of humility and reliance upon His wisdom, His power. And in that process He says you're going to be battling with your own flesh and the Adamic tendencies, and so you have to be aware of it and "Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God."

We talked about that as it relates to our actual birth and that God had already established a system that the head of the woman was the man, and God chose to make you a woman. In our society today it just causes people's blood to boil! But you've got to take it up with God. Man was not made for woman, but woman was made for the man, the Scripture says. So we find right there order that God has established, and from your very birth God ordained you to a role. And He gives you the grace and the ability to function in that role.

For those of us that are overseeing families and God has chosen to place us in that responsibility and has fulfilled in us the fact that it is not good for man to be alone, and so we've taken a wife and we've had children and we've been given divine responsibility to see our households in subordination to His lordship and we're to do whatever it takes to accomplish that, and tragically how many fall so short because it is a difficult task. And we choose rather to abdicate our role and to just throw up our hands many times instead of being the good shepherd that gives his life for the flock and you're willing to die to your own emotions and your own appetites and assume the role of priesthood of your home. "...the powers that be are ordained of God." Before you were formed in the belly God knew you and He separated you unto this day.

Let me ask you something men, those of you that are the priests of your homes: are you fulfilling the call on your lives? God has separated you as an authority, and He's ordained you, and He's graced you with His presence. And there's a reason for that: because He wants a godly seed to be raised up, another generation. Are you fulfilling the task that God's called you to do? And helpmeet, what are you doing to support that? You see, this is what we're talking about. When we're talking about the Kingdom of God, we're talking about a separate organism from the world's system. I don't care what the world's doing. I don't really--I'm not taken up with their programs and their plans and their ideologies and their philosophies. They're vanity; they're vexation. They're lies; they lie against the truth.

So regardless of whatever seems right in the populace, we have an authority, the Word of God, and let everything else be a lie. And in this authority, the Word of God, it says that there's powers that He's ordained. We know that those powers in the home, of course, are the role of parent, the role of husband, the priest of that house. And it's very clear what our diverse responsibilities are. Yet it's tragic how few homes are operating according to the biblical standards. But I just want to remind each one of us: to ignore the power and the order is to resist the ordinance or the plan of God. For the man to fail to rule, for the woman to fail to submit, for the child to fail to obey is to come against the ordinance of God, and if you resist the plan of God, you're resisting God, His lordship, His wisdom. "Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: [verse two says] and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation. For [order] rulers [designated authority] are not a terror to good works, but to the evil."

You see, it's set up to keep order; it's set up to cause a people to begin to pursue God and His statutes. We don't serve the gods of the world. He said when you go in I want you to pull their idols down and destroy them utterly. Those that are representatives of God are those that are opposing the wisdom of the world. Those that are subordinate, it says in verse 3, "do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of the same [the power]." You'll have the recognition of the heart of God, and as you humble yourself He will exalt you. His designated powers are to be servants of God "to thee for good." But if you oppose God, if you oppose the power-if you resist parent, husband, designated authority-"be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God..."

I'd like us to take just a moment in this sphere, and we're going to talk about the home a little bit this evening as well as the community of believers. Can I ask you something kids, those of you that are teenagers here? Can I ask you something ladies? When you look at dad, do you see the minister of God? Do you understand who this individual is that God has placed in your midst and who it is that he represents? Is the honor there; is the fear there, the reverence? Do you understand that to try to get around this individual whom God has placed is to resist God? Do you think that the little games that are played to kind of exert your own will and your own ways are unnoticed by the One who is eternal and omnipotent and omnipresent and omniscient? You see, His designated authority doesn't always see, but God knows your hearts. The designated authority isn't always strong, but the One who sent him is. And the trying, of course, is for both agents.

The Scripture speaks very clearly concerning those that have the care of our souls, and it said don't let them do it grudgingly. Don't make the job hard on them, but realize the awesomeness of their task and give honor to whom honor is due. Is that how you see your husband tonight? Is that how you see your parent tonight? What is it that causes this blindness other than that which God revealed to us in the heart of Lucifer, the king of rebellion and self-will? So we realize that as Paul is writing these words to us and encouraging us in recognizing authority-both secular (civil), domestic, ecclesiastical-he's not specifying. You notice he's not in this particular passage drawing distinctions between these three main categories. Now the Bible makes very clear a distinction, doesn't it? You can read it in Ephesians; you can see it very clearly. You can read it throughout Thessalonians, throughout Timothy. You can see the distinction that the Word of God makes and what authority it gives in Peter to the civil. You can take a look at it in the pastoral epistles and throughout the Scriptures of what's been placed as authority in the Church. You can see it in Ephesians very clearly, the authority in the home. God's not speaking to that right now; He's spoken to it in other areas.

What He's talking about in Romans 13 is your attitude. He's talking about putting yourself under habitually. You see, it's not speaking of the different authorities here. It's talking about how we're to respond. It's talking about the problem that every one of us is going to have that Adamic nature, that tendency to want to vaunt ourselves, to express ourselves, to think of ourselves more highly than we ought to think. And because of that He talks about the need to habitually put yourself under and to realize that these ministers are there for your good and to recognize them and give honor to whom honor is due.

How do you see that man in your home tonight? I would think that probably if we had a flowchart, everybody in the house would get it correct. Nobody would have the dog on top. What's the authority in your home? "Fido, kiddo, Momo, and the lump on the couch." Nobody would have it that way, but practically, how are we living and what respect and honor are we giving to those that God has placed over us? And how thankful are you for Mom and Dad? And how thankful are you for a godly husband and someone that's pursuing the Kingdom of God and is seeing to it that you're in the presence of God and that your children have a right to an opportunity to function within the community? You ought to thank God for those that He's given you and realize that they are ministers of God to you for good, and they're also revengers [verse 4] "to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil." It's not a token title; it's something that's very real as it begins to function in our lives.

Now, because of this, He goes on and He says, [verse seven] "Render therefore to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute is due; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honour to whom honour. Owe no man any thing, but to love one another..." Let me ask you something: when the trumpet sounds are you going to be in debt? Are you going to owe that authority some honor? Are you going to be found lacking when the Lord comes back for His church, this bride that's without spot or wrinkle or any such thing? Because in a nutshell what Jesus is saying is this: the way you've treated my authority is the way you treat me.

We read that in the parables, don't we? The owner of the vineyard is gone; let us go ahead and abuse his son. The lord of the house is gone; let us eat, drink, and be merry. And all that's in the flesh responds that way when given license. I want to ask you tonight: that minister of God within your home, how much honor is owed him? How many times have you in the guise of prayer demeaned him in the ears of your friends? How many times in the guise of caring for the children have you pulled him down in their eyes to exalt yourself? "Owe no man any thing, but to love one another." I want you to understand something. Whenever that's being done you're resisting the power of God. And whatever excuse you try to make or justifiable declaration of the ineptness of this person, they may be inept, but they're not without grace and without commission and ordination to fulfill a purpose. Don't you think for a moment that God can't used the foolish things of this world. He chose you.

So we realize that whenever we begin to respond negatively to power, to the authority that's been place, it's not just your opinion versus theirs. It's your opinion versus God's. "Well, how carried away are we supposed to get with this thing? I mean surely, everything that Bozo says over here can't be God speaking." Well, who's going to make that determination? You? The determination's already been made, and the Word of God has set those boundaries to where the sphere of authority ends. And until that place, the Scripture says honor to whom honor, submission and obedience in the Lord.

So we want to look at it from that aspect, and when you begin to speak of this in the terms that we have in these sessions, the flesh, as I said, goes wild. If you were to get it outside this room-you can see what it does to your flesh-speak to the world and see what they want to do. They'll gnash on you with their teeth, man. But it is the wisdom of God, and it's the thing that's going to preserve us in these last days. If we don't know how to rank under and to move in the ordination that God has placed upon us, the secret power of lawlessness will seduce you, and you will embrace the apostate religious system's version of equality, and you will die.

So as we look at the Scriptures here and we go through and understand passage after passage of God setting up those that are in authority to lead us into these straight and narrow passages, the highway of holiness, it's not going to change in these last days because CNN took a survey. And so we begin to look at the Word of God, and I want you to go over a couple of other passages with me. Let's go on this evening now; that's a little bit of laying down again foundation.

What I'd like to do is to take you to a couple of biblical examples. Turn over to Genesis with me for just a moment, and in Genesis 9 we have again a classic passage. The Love Boat just docked, and Noah and the gang are to set about and replenish the earth. Noah, a man of righteousness, a preacher of righteousness, the instrument of God to save the eight souls and life on the planet, wasn't a perfect man, but he was God's man. He was God's choice, and he was a man that was faithful in his generation and prophesied of rain when it was unknown. "And God blessed [chapter nine, verse one] Noah and his sons, and said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth. And the fear of you and the dread of you shall be upon every beast of the earth..."

Same thing that was spoken to Adam. Here's the new beginning. The Scripture speaks to us and tells us in this that God was going to use them as His representatives. Verse 11, "And I will establish my covenant with you; neither shall all flesh be cut off any more by the waters of a flood..." And we have the perpetual sign of the rainbow. And verse 20 says, "And Noah began to be a husbandman, [he began to plant and farm] and he planted a vineyard: And he drank [a little too much] of the vine, [verse 21 says] and was drunken; and he was uncovered within his tent. And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brethren without. And Shem and Japheth took a garment, and laid it upon both their shoulders, and went backward, and covered the nakedness of their father; and their faces were backward, and they saw not their father's nakedness. And Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his younger son had done unto him. And he said, Cursed be Canaan..."

We begin to see here how we can respond to authority. You come upon the man of God, and now he's drunk, and what do we do? Gotta tell somebody! But love covers a multitude of sin, the Scripture says. We talked about God's men and their feet of clay, and there isn't anybody perfect outside of our Lord. Authority is going to make mistakes; there's going to be sin that's found. We like to categorize sin so often. It's tragic. I mention the tragic occurrence in our generation, and we all remember so well the situation with Jimmy Swaggart. We don't know all of the story that went on at that particular time, but my understanding with Jimmy Swaggart is that in his lust he was involved in pornography. Because of his fame he couldn't go to the local whatever you call it, the peep shows or the strip joints or whatever; he'd be recognized. So he had his own private striptease show at his room. He didn't touch this person. Great sin committed; no question.

The thing that comes to me though and the tragedy that I see in our generation in the way we perceive things, is that we make that a great sin. And I won't mention the name of this next individual. He pastors a very large church in the Midwest. He's on nationwide television, the author of many books, a fabulous teacher. He's got to weigh at least 350 pounds, and his son's bigger than him and that's acceptable. And he stands weekly and proclaims the Word of God, and he teaches the power of God and the casting out of devils and the healing of the sick and the dominion over sin. I'm here to tell you not one sin of those is greater than the other. And the whole point that I'm making is, it's both sin, and the point that I'm making is this: he that's without sin cast the first stone.

There are sins that carry greater judgments with them. We understand that, and I'm not teaching on that right now. What I'm talking about is this: those that are in authority are not perfect. Do I stop going to this church where this man is bringing the Word of God because there's no food left in our fellowship meetings when he goes through the line first? You see, the Scripture makes it very clear that God's authority that He set there, these are men that have been taken out of the midst of us. These are people that are touched with the same weaknesses and the same infirmities that you have. Sin is in their members, and God has placed them in great positions of responsibility, and whether it be the head of a home (the husband), the overseer of a flock, it doesn't make any difference. Those of us that are under that authority must recognize it as ordained of God and realize there are going to be times they fall short, and when they do, we cover them. I don't mean cover up the sin. It's got to be something that's dealt with, but it doesn't have to be something that's broadcast, does it, to the others, to the brethren.

Look at the difference in the spirit. Look at the one that rejoices in those that are in authority falling and those who are under authority wanting to protect the integrity of God, the man of righteousness. We wouldn't even be here, Shem and Japheth said. We would have drowned with the rest of them if it hadn't been for this guy hearing from God. And how quick are we to criticize our husband's judgments and their little mistakes? How quick are we to look at our parents' faults and say, "How are they expecting this of me, and look at the things they're not getting right in their own lives?" You're judging the ordinance of God. God didn't say your parents were perfect; He said they're in authority. God didn't say your husband was perfect; He said he's in authority. So when we begin to understand that, we look at the spirit that Father is looking for.

Look at the curse that came on Ham because of him wanting to judge authority rather than himself. "I've got something on him now. Next time he tells me not to drink, I've got something to bring up." We begin to see the distinction of the spirit within these brothers and why Ham was cursed and Canaan after him. And the curse remains to this day and the warfare against the covenant of God from the descendants of Ham. It's very important for us to realize then that though authority is going to find it difficult to emulate Jesus, we can represent Him. We speak the words that He spoke. We seek with all of our hearts His grace and His mercy. We choose righteous judgment, and we don't judge out of our own hearts but in direct representation of He who sent us.

It's a sad thing to see the heart of a Ham as it relates to the authority placed over them-the delighting in their weaknesses, the sharing of it rather than the covering. So it's very important that we understand our own hearts and how we respond to the authority that God's placed in our lives. You see, we can become defiant. I mean, we can find ourselves over in the Korah and Dathan mentality if we're not careful. Ham wasn't doing that. He was there just kind of, you know, letting everybody know that he's not perfect. "I've got a little inside information. Let me tell you how this really is." And the spirit of that, of course, is always to somehow try to diminish that authority that's over us and to give ourselves license.

Numbers 12 speaks toward this other spirit that we're talking about. Turn over there for just a second, and it's a passage that some of us are familiar with. As you look at the Spirit of God's dealing with this situation, a few things become real obvious to us. Whether it's the heart of Ham, the overinflated opinion of Nadab and Abihu-you see, they could have gone and done that ministry. It's just that they chose to do it without Aaron's initiation. They chose to do it in a way that was not acceptable to God's order and provision of the perpetual fire. It was something that they could have done, had they been sent and had they done it in the ordinance of God. But because of their priesthood they now thought themselves like these in Numbers-authorities unto themselves.

Sometimes in the home, because of the glory that's been given to the role of the wife and the mother, they almost sometimes seem to think that that is their domain and not realize that they've been sent and they're representing another, the priest of that house who has entrusted to them the care of these children and this kingdom that God has blessed you with. We get over-familiar, and we lose sight of the minister of God, and we begin to think ourselves equal. "I can hear from God. Surely the Spirit of the Lord can lead me." Now don't mistake what I'm saying here. We're not talking about you calling your husband forty-two times a day to ask him how high you ought to turn the flame up on the soup. We're talking about representing this kingdom and establishing the purposes of God.

Numbers 12 speaks toward this other spirit. This is the spirit that we have to guard against, this over-familiarity. "And Miriam and Aaron [now it says] spake against Moses because of the Ethiopian woman whom he had married: for he had married an Ethiopian woman. And they said, Hath the Lord indeed spoken only by Moses? hath he not spoken also by us? And the Lord heard it." Now, let's ask the question? Has the Lord spoken by Miriam and Aaron? And the answer to that is what? Yeah! Where was Miriam and Aaron when Moses was at the bush? Where was Miriam and Aaron when Moses was on the mountain? You see, we so often, when we have conferred upon us authority and responsibility, lose sight of who conferred it upon us.

When that husband gives that to you, ladies, it's been conferred upon you. You didn't ask your husband to marry you; he asked you to marry him-I hope. It's the one that's in authority who's taking this other in and conferring upon them this oversight and this love and this union that the two become one. There's no question in the functional aspect that God uses all of us. It's not a question of ability, of intelligence, of perception. The whole issue is order that we're talking about and the honoring of God through the proper recognition of authority. We don't operate like the world; we're not of that Adamic nature. Probably we should say the "Evetic" nature-Mama Eve. We realize that it's in every one of us.

So now that they don't agree with something that the authority did, they begin to vaunt themselves to his level and say, "You know, I pretty much agreed with everything Moses was doing up to this point, but now I just don't agree with this, and I don't see any way I can support that. And I'll tell you what-God doesn't just speak by him anyway; He speaks by us also. And it's obvious the dude's out to lunch here, and he's making mistakes, and so therefore, since we're infallible, maybe we ought to say something about this." "And the Lord came down..." And He does, because when you resist the power you're resisting what? The ordinance of God. You might think you're just talking to your best friend on the phone, but I want to tell you something. It's a party line-God's listening, and it's very important for us to realize.

It says, "And the Lord came down in the pillar of the cloud, and stood in the door of the tabernacle, and called Aaron and Miriam..." Would that be scary or what? You talk about getting called to the principal's office. This is bad news here! And you know when God calls you to the woodshed, you know what's going on! It's not like, "I wonder what I did." You know what you did. God says, "I want to talk to you." "Oh, no!" You know that pricking in your heart? You know when you're sinning; you know when you're resisting the power of God. You know when you're moving in the spirit of rebellion, and then when God begins to bring about the recompense, there's no question in your mind. If you have life in you, I'm talking about. I'm not talking about those that are dead-there's no remorse; there's no conviction; there's no ability to see. You explain it and they say, "I don't see it." The spiritual man says, "I see it very clearly, and I'm the man. And I realize there's going to be something to pay, and I realize it's going to cost me a child, and my baby has to die." "I don't see it. I don't understand. I don't know why everything's always happening. Why's everybody always pickin' on me?" Charlie Brown. (Reference to song, Charlie Brown.)

And God came down "And he said, Hear now my words: If there be a prophet among you, I the Lord will make myself known unto him in a vision, and will speak to him in a dream." He's not saying that he didn't use these individuals in these offices of prophet and teacher-wife. But "My servant Moses is not so, who is faithful in all mine house. With him will I speak mouth to mouth, even apparently, and not in dark speeches..." Now isn't it interesting that He talks about a prophet in a dream and a vision, but He says that's dark speeches. Now we know that that penned this book is infallible. God spoke to us by holy men, and the words were infallible. When He says dark speeches, all He's doing here is He's drawing for us a distinction, and He's saying as great as the visitation has been upon you, you've broken order. You're not on the level of this other man, and I want you to know that very clearly. He's the one that I chose.

I want you to hear very clearly young people, because you see, at the age that most of you teenagers are, you see, you seem to think-you'll be surprised-you get stupider as time goes on. You will never know as much as you know right now. You will progressively get dumber. At thirteen you know everything, and it's down hill from there. And so with the dark speeches that have been spoken to you and all that you think you know and all those judgments you're putting on Mom and Dad and their decisions, I want to tell you something tonight: you're not on their level. Don't even entertain it! You want me to tell you the safest thing you can do? Don't even entertain it! Don't even give thought to it! Just walk in faith and reliance upon God to speak to you and to care for you through Dad and Mom-those that love you and those that have gone before you. And as they're seeking God and if they don't know and they're men and women of God, they'll go seek counsel for you and say, "Let me tell you something. I don't really know what to do in this, but I'll be right back." And they go and seek godly counsel, and they come back. They don't have to pretend that they know everything.

Parents, one of the worse things that can happen is for you to think that it all ends with you and that you have to know everything. You don't. There are those that God actually gifts. Did you know that people that are more stupid than you can speak the wisdom of God? That's the job of pastors-dumb people making smart statements under inspiration. People just like you walking around [humming], "Do, do, do do, do, do, do, do." And then somebody has a need, and you go, "The Word of the Lord says..." And you go, "Whew, man! Where'd that come from?" When it comes out of your mouth you know you're not that smart-that was God! I marvel at stuff I say every day! I'm serious, man! I'm just talking and phew! And I think, "Whoa! Good idea, Lord!"

And that's what it's all about. And as we're seeking and humbling ourselves before God and He's making Himself known to us, and we'll humble ourselves and we'll realize that as young people, it's dark speeches. Our parents, that have been given authority-God is going to supernaturally give them wisdom and guidance because He is the head of His church. And when we can rest in that, we'll guard ourselves from this spirit of Miriam and Aaron and that ability to second-guess and to question and want to vaunt ourselves and think we're on a level that we're not. And He says I'm here to make a distinction for you, and Moses I will speak with mouth to mouth. "...wherefore then [verse 8] were ye not afraid to speak against my servant Moses?" Why were you not afraid to speak contradictory of your parents? Why is it that you find it so easy to criticize your husband?

Now, we've taken a long time-we've gone over this, and we've gone over it, and you think, "Man, you're beating a dead horse." Well, of course, we've drug this horse for a long ways! These bones can live; this dead horse is going to rise again. I want to tell you something, beloved. This spirit is that that divides houses and causes them not to stand. I've talked to you about some of the turmoil in our midst in different homes. And it's only representative of our society, hopefully on a much smaller percentage than the world, but it's the same spirit-there's no new thing under the sun. I want to ask you something? Why were you not afraid to speak? Who do you think that guy is? "Well, it's just some idiot that I conned into marrying me. If he's dumb enough to marry me, he's sure dumb enough not to trust him." Can you live with that statement? Why are you not afraid to speak against the minister of God as that husband does the best he can do to set course for you? "Well, I don't think he's doing his best." Well then, why don't you walk in the room backwards and cover him up and begin to pray and fast and believe God, and stop talking to your friends and to the children and experience a miracle in your life and in your house? Because the powers that be are ordained of God.

"And the anger of the Lord was kindled against them [verse 9]." Well, we've got Ham being cursed, we've got Nadab and Abihu being fried, and now we have leprosy. How many of you think that God leaves the defiance of authority unchallenged? Well, some of you are saying, "Whew man, He hasn't--He just--thank God He hasn't done it to me!" He chastens those that He loves; He won't let you live in this spirit. He's longsuffering. Can I just tell you this? Your discipline is coming. And His grace will be there to see you through it, but don't you think for a moment that challenging His authority will go unchallenged. When it says they bear not the sword in vain, it doesn't mean that they are going to be the ones that are going to put you in line. God's going to show up. Fire's going to come from the presence of God. And we begin to see then that there are those that God has put in our lives that we need to recognize as the ministers of God to us, and to do anything less is to resist the ordinance of God.

We could go on, and we don't have the time right now, into the Korah and Dathan aspect. It's another spirit that has to be dealt with, and it's just another expression of that same Adamic refusal to subordinate ourselves to the wisdom of God. Order in our lives is one of the greatest gifts that God has given us. To despise it is to refuse to walk in the Spirit and to be back walking in the flesh. You see, many of us seem to think that "I'm hearing from the Spirit" and that doing what I'm told is the flesh-that's just Dad, that's just the deacon, that's just the pastor. "I want to hear from God." The greatest gift given to you and the greatest indication of you walking in the Spirit is to be in proper order.

Father, we thank You for the Word of God tonight, and as You speak to us, we ask for the grace to hear and to have ears in this day. So much noise out there that would distract us. All we hear day after day are the rights that we have. And people are getting rich off of it. Everybody's got an attorney "to protect our rights." Epstein & Brothers, "Have it your way." "I've got rights! I deserve more!" We're being bombarded by that spirit. The flesh is drawn to it and embraces it and says, "Yeah, that sounds right; that's how it should be." And it's foolishness with God. The lives that You've called us to, Father, of divine order-that that brings divine life, blessings, length of days, riches and honor-are found in the humbling of ourselves. The way that seems right to a man is death, but the humbling of ourselves and embracing the Spirit is life. Make it real to us, Father, we ask in Jesus' name. Amen.

Let's stand before the Lord tonight. We've had a great time of celebration at the Lord's table and the time of worship, and we're so thankful for that. The Word of the Lord has come to us, and the question's been asked: what do you owe that authority in your life? Owe him nothing but to love him. Don't owe any honor; don't be a debtor when it comes to respect. But fulfill the ordination on your life and honor God when you recognize the ministers of God to thee for good. You need to be thankful for a mother and father who are leading you into the highway of holiness. You need to be thankful for a husband who makes a stand for righteousness. You need to be thankful for a community that stands with the foundation of the Word of God and won't compromise it for the crying of any, because it is a distinction between the holy and the profane. And the place that God has honored He will bless, and He will show Himself mighty, and He'll raise up to Himself a people. Prepare us, and come quickly we ask, Lord, in Jesus' name. Amen.

Before you go, turn to somebody next to you and say, "Honor to whom honor." Go in peace; God's love go with you.
